How would you like to trade a market where you get large regular price swings every 10 minutes in the afternoon, seven days a week. A
market where all prices are set purely by supply and demand, few transaction costs, no middle men and you only pay commission if you win? Where you can freely act as a market maker and where you have direct market access and where you can create a spread for others to take?

Betfair has revolutionised the betting market and created an open platform for exchanging risk on sports events. This market is now viewed much more like a traditional financial risk market than an old fashioned betting market. Smart users have realised that there are huge opportunities on Betfair because they can buy and sell risk in much the same way they would in a normal financial market but without the burden of cost or the restricted access that is usually associated with traditional financial markets.

LOL - are you looking at the election market? Only seams to me that the turnout market and winning seats have any volume to them.

I can't resist it. The US election was massive volume but the UK appears to be much less at the moment. Maybe because it is not so close and therefore people are not trading in and out as much.

Winning majority looks like an interesting market.

I'm going to spoof it for a laugh.

Well I'll be damned somebody freaked out. Just gone green. Put the order in and the market moved to 100.7% to lay so I did. A coincidence I think.

A few overround bots working the market I think you could have some fun if you have the patience. I'm taking the laptop to bed, I think I am going down with a cold.

Have you just done it again. Market keeps moving out to 100.1 - 100.4 on the lay side.

For some reason people seem to be pushing it out constantly, I'm happy to sit here and mop it up.

Out to 101.3% looks like you are going to have plenty to mop up. Certainly more entertaining than watching the coverage.

Evening all

Managed to pick up some free money on Taylor in the darts again tonite.

Watching the election coverage but not trading - as scrip says the us equivalent was far better to trade

See it is now odds on a majority of 1-60, though the odds of no overall majority have tumbled from around 40 to 7.2

Stayed up quite a while but not enough money really to trade big volume. Eventually feel asleep in bed with my Laptop which shut down around 2:15am this morning.

scrip,
whats it like sleeping with a laptop ???

Fundy,

If you're out there, I've sent you an internal email.

Not sure whether it went through as using it for the first time?

Bakko

email received - been on site all day hence only just picked it up.

John

did you get my mail re tomorrow???

After Howards resignation, the market is on betfair for the next tory leader.

I cannot believe that 14.0 has been matched on William Hague!!!!!!!

Man U - 1.33 to beat West Brom? Odds look a little skinny for this?

OK there is a huge gulf in class but West Brom are fighting for their lives. The will come out fighting and I guess Man U will sit there soak up the pressure before looking to come out. Surely an opportunity for a lay then maybe a chance to buy back.

On the other side of the coin I would have thought Chelsea would want to win in style against Charlton.

Scrip

On the evidence of the arsenal v west brom game last week, west brom will come out very quick and chase everything. They defended quite well but lacked quality up front. Wouldnt shock me to see Man U struggle and i certainly wouldnt be a backer at 1.33. In the arsenal game, arsenal were approx 1.7 before kick off - i know they were away - but i cant believe man utd are half the price just for being at home

With regards to Chelsea, they will want to put on a show and have probably Charlton are ideal opposition at this time of the season - nothing to play for and in freefall - the only concern will be have they got over the disappointment of tuesday and will they score goals?


Have to admit i looked at the ACCA on the two and was tempted to lay at 1.7

All green on Chelsea

Lay to back scrip?
